Improved flow performance of a centrifugal compressor based on pit formation on the notum of the whirligig beetle ()

Many studies have shown that bionic forms reduce drag through the control fluid medium. In this study, the evenly aligned pits of the whirligig beetle ( Gyrinidae Latreille ) notum were selected as the bionic form to be studied. They were used in centrifugal compressor impellers, called bionic centr...
